Is this sand & cement stuff I started still going on?

Alsacien, please forgive me for not getting my sand and cement mix exactly to spec but I know that is what I was taught on my first day as a labourer. It was 20 years ago, just let it go

We have a shortage of Poles up here in Scotland, but plenty of Irish. How is their mix?

Fat fighter!
Why are you still here? I thought we agreed that you would wend your way over to the Walt and Wannabe thread, and leave the grown ups to talk?

BTW...I along with every soldier paid Tax and National Insurance contributions just like everyone..Except you of course, because you were parasiting your way through University at my expense! Your Degree is worthless because you are obviously worthless! That's why you choose to come on here and try goading those who actually did what you were never capable of...For Shame Still i bet your mam loves ya? At you, not with you tax dodger

Every man thinks meanly of himself for not having been a soldier, or at sea.

You must be doubly self-satisfied then!

Cheers mate, I seem to remember another quote 'Being a sailor is worse than a prisoner, for to be a sailor is to be a prisoner with the added chance of drowning!', so maybe its not all good then

Anyway, hows tricks Rump?

I'm 37 in 2 months Tom, am I not "grown up" enough for you? Sorry, but I must have missed something here. Edit: I came back because someone was dissing my sand and cement mix. I watch this thread you know. I have the technology

Yes, you've paid tax and NI, but probably not as much as I have, to put food in mouths and rounds in your rifle.

Given that I've financed you for 20 years, don't you feel you owe me something, Tom? I think you should be GLAD of people like me who have never been on the dole and kept working so you could see the world like that geezer "Frank" in those adverts of yore. See, if it wasn't for us civvies who would give you jobs guarding our stores and minding our pubs when you leave the army??

BTW I took a student loan out at uni, paid it all back - I owe you nothing. Seems you owe ME plenty though! Give me 20 pressups and we'll call it quits. Don't tell anyone I know you though

My mum loves me, but not in the way yours does

Thing is without a measure of security all your economic activity which raises taxes to pay for MoD et al would be for nothing. You cant have prosperity without security, nor does it make sense for man to produce wealth without him being assured of not losing it or it being taken from him in conflict or injustice, so we could equally make the counterpoint that without us, you would have produced the square root of fcuk all.

I find it laughable though that you come on here and complain about 'your taxes paying us', when there are parts of government that soak up so much more funding and produce so much less. Looked at the social security budget lately have you? The Armed Forces work comparative miracles on a shoe string compared to other parts of Govt.

BTW, one of my soldiers told me the other day he got the big 'I pay your wages' from a civvy in a pub - his solution was 'cheers for the pint then fcukface!' - works for me!

Voltiguer, have you heard of "wind up" ? I am joking.

I'm not that much of an arrse to say such things to squaddies edit: do you really think I'd have the brass neck to come on here and say that? I might be big but I'm not fcukin stupid enough to believe it.

I am on this thread because some "clever" fellow thought all civvies were inferior to him, as soon as he says sorry for being a smartarrse I will fcuk off

Maybe.

But Tom still owes me.

Ah, a massive Wah, I shouldve known it as soon as I started typing a semi-serious reply on Arrse!

So Fat Fukcer, following your rather warped thinking process, can I conclude that:
The next time you are a crime victim you will remind the plod how much they owe you.
If your house catches fire you will inform the firemen that they better do a good job as you are paying them....
...and when the ambulance arrives to help remove the firemans hose nozzle from your anus, you demand the level of service you, the paying customer, deserve?

The fact that we continue to have a military as we have done in the past, is what ensures you can continue to live your banal little existence with some continued degree of security and freedom.

Edited to add:

Even the most pathetic human creature to be born in the UK qualifies as a UK civilian - not quite so easy to qualify to call yourself a serving or ex-soldier though is it
How does the dictionary definition of "inferior" read......

Oh Christ here's another one. Not only taking my sand and cement mixing literally (but yes, I did work as a labourer) but coming on telling me how you're single-handedly keeping me safe in bed at night. I wondered how long it would be before the old "I am" speech.

So let me get this right - even though I'm doing quite well for myself, I should jack it all in and join the TA just to say "I have served" ? Thanks but no thanks. Do you have a superiority complex?

How does the dictionary entry for "smug" and "deluded" read?

Pick up those tumblers when you're done will you? Cheers.

Yes, of course this really happened didnt it. You lying cnut. You were rejected because you were and are a mouthy cnut of the highest order.

Done my bit, someone else is doing the job now. But I am not a civilian, I am an ex-military reservist.

I will be paying 9 people this month (8 IIRC are degree qualified) while I work part-time and pocket 5 figures a month, I can afford to be smug.

I rather think you are struggling with an inferiority complex, is it your weight problem?

This has got to be a wah, having a degree or Masters dosent qualify you to mix cement you doughnut. Its like saying I did a RMA course in the Army and I cant bake a cake. Feckin chimp. Your boring, why dont you feck off onto one of your civvy sites and leave this one alone to people who have achieved or will achieve or are linked to same.

Oh, by the way, I got a 1st in I.T. whilst still serving in HM Forces, then a Masters in History whilst hang on..... yes, still serving in HM Forces. So when you want to swap spit about getting a degree, think that plenty of squaddies do this sort of thing whilst still serving.

Aye, I'd really make it up that I got rejected!! .... another MENSA candidate here I see

Haha, I'm loving this. Talk about context and missing it.

Well if your chums hadn't slagged off us civvies I wouldn't be here would I? So shut up and put your dummy away you fcuking dullard.

And who are you to talk anyway? You're going to be a civvy sometime aren't you? You think you're better than us, when you are not.

But obviously one with greater experience and more qualifications than you.
I could also lay a fair bet he would be more reliable, more trustworthy, harder working and more honest than you.

Why are you still here

Here we go, the old "pocketing 5 figures a month". Yes, £100.99 in dole. That's 5 figures.

I could not care less. You obviously DO think you are superior to us civvies don't you? Admit it.

You could bet all you like, I would not care - don't you have your "5 figures a month" to be earning?

I'm here because I'm enjoying this now. It's near the end of the month, don't you have pay packets to fill out?

Others now earn it for me.
Pay goes out on the 15th, someone does that for me to, I just check and sign.

Was there something else?
